There are times when breakfast should not be missed.

Like when it’s a chance to have Breakfast at Tiffany and this morning that is what I did.


Every good breakfast starts with mimosas


And an assortment of pastry .. including croissants

And sugar bacon


Tiffany & Co had their holiday decorations up so it was very festive.


Even the Tiffany Blue box fit the season.


I tried on a few Frank Gehry pieces. My personal collection from Tiffany doesn’t include anything from Frank Gehry so this was a treat.

The holiday gift ideas were set aside for us to look at.


Took a photo with Jessica of What I Wore – its doubtful either of us will forget the morning.

Loved this bracelet. Definitely not subtle but not obnoxious. A little like me.


Wearing the new Tiffany Blue box necklace (made of turquoise and diamonds) as I checked out the new nature collection with David.


David is creative. He spelled BLOG using the initial necklaces.

After stopping at several other sparkling display areas it was time for me to go to my next event.

Thanks Tiffany & Co. for treating me like a princess.

And for the unexpected gift as I walked out the door. Will treasure my new Tiffany key necklace.

Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany’s. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that’d make me feel like Tiffany’s, then – then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name! – Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Car SongBreakfast at Tiffany’s by Deep Blue Something “And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She said I think I remember the film…”

After a long turbulent flight from JFK to LAX (which Neil Patrick Harris managed to sleep through–how!?), I was given a parting gift from one of the loveliest flight attendants (Hi Wendy!) I’ve ever met –

(that’s Maggie’s hand acting as a bottle holder)


Full sized. Not a honor bar sized bottle. Wow. I must have looked like I really needed it.And this just showed up to my room —

I’m surrounded by mind readers… people definitely think I need to calm down…

A little lemon tea from Tea Forte (one of my favorite tea brands) and some lemon almond biscotti. Yum.

I think I’ll enjoy this unexpected room service delivery and save the flight attendant’s gift for another day when I can share it with others.

Drive Thru Interviews with Liz Gumbinner of Mom-101 and Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends

Standing on line for anything unnecessary stopped when my days at Great Adventure ended. Of course now that I’m “Mama Victoria Pericon” (as Natalie calls me) I have to wait online with her to meet her favorite characters at today’s Children’s Day event at the South Street Seaport sponsored by Target.

The day started out pretty good… found a 3 hour parking spot (two blocks away!) and that was beyond exciting since I was determined to not pay the $20 an hour “special event” parking rate all of the nearby lots were offering.. Nat went in the Volo (armed with her Dora backpack) and Lukie in the Sidekick and we were off to find Dora. The schedule said Dora wouldn’t be there for a few hours so we stood on line to meet Bert and Ernie. And then to take photos with Zee and Moose A. Moose from Noggin. Only Luke has a photo with the Noggin scene because after waiting a half hour to take her Noggin scene photo, Natalie decided she didn’t want to take that photo. Yeah. I know. Life as a two year old.

Everywhere Luke and Natalie turned they were handed some sort of promotional giveaway — Target kites, Noggin crayons and CDs, Bob the Builder and Barney VHS tapes, coloring books and all these other random items.

Saw a few celebrity moms with their kids ….

It got to be overwhelmingly crowded so we left … wasn’t really planning to see Teddy Geiger and the fireworks because it would have ended way past their bedtime.

So we got back in the car, picked up my mother and headed to City Island for some seafood… a little tradition we’ve had for close to 10 years.

Totally not expecting to find one on City Island, I spotted an Alice’s Tea Cup. It looks like they are getting ready to open it sometime soon. I love Alice’s Tea Cup, I just really hope they don’t turn into Duane Reade. Every other corner. It’d really take away from it’s charm.
